Circus in the Circus

Circus in the Circus (Czech: Cirkus v cirkuse; Russian: Соло для слона с орекстром) is a Czechoslovak-Soviet comedy film directed by Oldřich Lipský and released in 1976.[1] The story takes place in the Big State Circus in Moscow where two international groups arrive simultaneously: a jury searching for outstanding numbers for the World Circus festival and a delegation of animal language scientists. The film was selected as the Czechoslovakian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 48th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[2] All circus acts were performed by Moscow and Zaporizhia circus troupes.
